Bring the laundry in.

If I tell you "Bring the laundry in", where are we physically located?

Thank you.

I'd say I was in the backyard, having hung the laundry out to dry the old-fashioned way, on a clothesline, and you were in the house. That's because "bring in " suggests that the destination is an enclosure of some kind. CJ
